Why You Keep Losing Money on Crash and Boom
There are many reasons why people lose money on Forex. Some of them includes:
1. Fear and Greed
The two enemies I battled in my first few months in the Forex Market was fear and greed. Sometimes, I will see a good trade opportunity, but fear of losing my money will make me miss the perfect entry point. Sometimes, I will stay too long in the market, before I know the blue will suddenly turn red.
N/B: Battle fear and greed with an open mind.
2. Poor Trading Mindset
I may not know why you are in the Forex Market, but most people are in the market for the wrong reasons. I suffered this same fate during my first months in trading because of the orientation i got before becoming a full time trader.
My number rule is: Enter the market only when you see a good opportunity, if you don’t see any, don’t try to force the market. Forcing the market is why you are consistently losing your equity
3. Poor Trading Strategy
